Effective: Thu January 8, 2026, 5:02 AM
Expires: Thu January 8, 2026, 9:15 AM

Patchy fog has developed this morning and has reduced visibility to 1/2 mile or less at times.

Fog paired with temperatures below freezing in eastern Ohio could lead to the development of slick spots, especially on bridges and overpasses.


Special Weather Statement issued January 8 at 2:31AM EST by NWS Charleston WV

Effective: Thu January 8, 2026, 2:31 AM
Expires: Thu January 8, 2026, 8:00 AM

Dense fog has formed across many of the river and mountain valleys this morning. Visibility will be restricted with any fog and could be as low as half a mile or less in spots. Temperatures are around freezing and projected to drop below freezing for many locations across the northern lowlands and the mountain valleys. Instances of freezing fog may cause slick roads as ice collects, especially on bridges and other elevated surfaces. Exercise caution traveling this morning. Please slow down and leave extra room between other vehicles, especially when encountering any slick surfaces.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
